War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens Chapter 4243

4243 The Fragment of a Prime Divine Artifact

Jiang Yu Wei, Hou Dong, Qiu Ping, and Hou Lian Yu were shocked to see Duan Ling Tian’s doppelganger appear behind the ape demon.

‘I can’t believe that Big Brother Duan is from the lower realm! He’s not a native of a Realm of G.o.ds, but yet, he’s able to achieve such amazing feats!’ Hou Lian Yu marveled inwardly. He was also aware that Duan Ling Tian was younger than him. He could not help but wonder how the lower realms managed to give birth to a heaven-defying prodigy like Duan Ling Tian.

At this time, the ape demon roared thunderously, “No!!!”

When the ape demon discovered Duan Ling Tian’s doppelganger, Duan Ling Tian had already appeared in front of it. It was helpless at this moment. After all, Duan Ling Tian’s doppelganger also possessed a prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact soul.

!!

Swoos.h.!.+

A seven-colored sword ray shot out like the Grim Reaper’s scythe and pierced the ape demon’s body. It trembled violently before tens of thousands of sword rays exploded out of its body, killing it in just a blink of an eye.

A harrowing, desolate, and unwilling cry rang in the air before a huge phantom appeared briefly in the air and fell, indicating the death of a Supreme G.o.d. Such a phenomenon would definitely cause a commotion on the Realm Battlefield. However, there was no commotion since only a few people were present in the natural secret realm.

A chilling silence descended after the ape demon’s cry faded away.

Hou Lian Yu and the others looked at the purple figure in the distance with eyes that brimmed with shock, fear, and all kinds of complicated feelings.

At this time, Duan Ling Tian looked like an invincible G.o.d of war as a huge beam of light shone down on him from the sky.

‘I’m not a match for him at all. He’s way too strong,’ the veiled woman thought to herself, feeling complicated.

Jiang Yu Wei, Hou Dong, and Qiu Ping still had yet to recover their senses. They truly did not expect Duan Ling Tian to be so strong. After a moment, they could not help but turn to look at Hou Lian Yu enviously, wondering where he found such a powerful helper.

Even if Hou Lian Yu did not gain a lot from this natural secret realm, he had gained a lot by being acquainted with such a heaven-defying person. The others no longer dared to provoke Hou Lian Yu when they thought about Duan Ling Tian’s strength. There was no lack of enthusiasm on Hou Lian Yu’s part as he kept addressing Duan Ling Tian as ‘Big Brother Duan’. Moreover, based on the duo’s interaction, it was not difficult to tell that the duo had a rather good relations.h.i.+p.

At this time, Hou Dong stepped forward and gave Duan Ling Tian a thumbs-up. “Big Brother Duan, you’re the strongest advanced Emperor of G.o.ds I’ve ever met!” After a beat, he added, “Big Brother Duan, allow me to introduce myself properly. My name is Hou Dong. Hou Lian Yu and I grew up together in the same clan. Big Brother Duan, please feel free to look for me if you need any help in the future. I’ll try my best to help you as long as it’s within my abilities.”

Upon hearing Hou Dong’s words, a hint of contempt could be seen in Jiang Yu Wei and Qiu Ping’s eyes. After all, Hou Dong’s behavior now was truly disgusting. Earlier, Hou Dong had ridiculed Hou Lian Yu and looked down on Duan Ling Tian, but now, he did not hesitate at all to become a bootlicker.

Hou Lian Yu was also stunned by Hou Dong’s shamelessness. When he recovered his senses, he said indignantly, “Hou Dong, enough with your bootlicking! Big Brother Duan can look for me if he needs help!”

Hou Dong was not angry at all. Instead, he only smiled when he looked at Hou Lian Yu. His previous arrogance had completely disappeared at this moment.

Suddenly, Qiu Ping looked at the sky and exclaimed, “The additional reward is here!”

A streak of red light carrying a huge piece of metal descended from the sky. The metal piece looked ordinary apart from its terrifying aura. Its aura alone caused the prominent divine artifacts of Duan Ling Tian and the others to shake. Their artifact souls appeared briefly before they returned to their respective prominent divine artifacts.

Duan Ling Tian was looking at the metal piece curiously when he heard Huang’er say in a trembling voice, “Master, this… this is a fragment of a prime divine artifact…”

‘The fragment of a prime divine artifact?!’ Duan Ling Tian was stunned. He had heard of the prime divine artifact before, but he knew little about it.

At this time, Hou Lian Yu’s eyes lit up as he exclaimed, “It’s the fragment of a prime divine artifact!”

When Duan Ling Tian looked up, he saw the others looking at the metal fragment covetously.

At the same time, Hou Lian Yu hurriedly said through Voice Transmission, “Big Brother Duan, hurry up and put the fragment of the prime divine artifact away! Although I don’t think they have the courage to s.n.a.t.c.h it from you, it’s better to be safe than sorry. What if one of them s.n.a.t.c.hes it first and puts it into his or her destructive spatial ring? At that time, you won’t be able to retrieve it even if you kill them.”

Upon hearing Hou Lian Yu’s words, Duan Ling Tian hurriedly claimed the metal fragment and put it away in his spatial ring. He could also sense half of the force from the law of s.p.a.ce disappearing when he grabbed the metal fragment.

‘The fragment of the prime divine artifact is terrifying as it is… I wonder how terrifying a prime divine artifact is…’

Duan Ling Tian knew that only supreme powerhouses could cultivate a prominent divine artifact into a prime divine artifact after keeping a prominent divine artifact by his or her side for many, many years. Needless to say, prime divine artifacts were far superior to prominent divine artifacts. Even without an artifact soul, a prime divine artifact could easily destroy a prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact soul. As such, prime divine artifacts were acknowledged to be the strongest divine weapons in heaven and earth. Under normal circ.u.mstances, only supreme powerhouses owned prime divine artifacts. However, there was a small number of advanced Supreme G.o.ds who also possessed prime divine artifacts due to their close connections with a supreme powerhouse. With a prime divine artifact in hand, there was no doubt this small number of advanced Supreme G.o.ds were the strongest among advanced Supreme G.o.ds.

After Duan Ling Tian put the fragment of the prime divine artifact away, Hou Lian Yu said again, “Big Brother Duan, prime divine artifacts can only be cultivated by supreme powerhouses…”

Hou Lian Yu a.s.sumed Duan Ling Tian was unaware of how precious the fragment of the prime divine artifact was based on Duan Ling Tian’s reaction so he was quick to explain it to Duan Ling Tian.

“Not only is a prime divine artifact difficult to cultivate, but it also takes a long time to cultivate. For this reason, some supreme powerhouse chooses to cultivate a prime divine artifact using something else other than a prominent divine artifact. Only a peerless material can become a fragment of a prime divine artifact. If I’m not mistaken, that metal fragment you obtained is the Colossal Dark Matter. It’s one of the most precious materials used to forge weapons between heaven and earth. You can use the fragment of a prime divine artifact to cultivate your prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact soul. Once your prominent divine artifact acc.u.mulates enough energy from nine fragments, it’ll become a prime divine artifact. As you can see, compared to the conventional method, it’s much faster to cultivate a prime divine artifact this way.”

“The supreme powerhouses would scatter and hide fragments of prime divine artifacts on the Realm Battlefield, using them as rewards. According to the rumors, prime divine artifacts once appeared on the Realm Battlefield as a reward a long, long time ago. However, due to the difficulty of cultivating prime divine artifacts, the supreme powerhouses later changed the rewards to fragments of prime divine artifacts. In any case, the fragment of a prime divine artifact is regarded as a peerless treasure on the Realm Battlefield that even advanced Supreme G.o.ds would fight over.”

Duan Ling Tian had a better understanding after listening to Hou Lian Yu’s explanation. Then, he brought the fragment of the prime divine artifact out before he summoned Huang’er, the artifact soul of the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword.

“Huang’er, how do I integrate this fragment of a prime divine artifact into the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword?”

Huang’er could barely contain her excitement as she asked, “M-master, you want to integrate the fragment into the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword?”

Needless to say, the integration of the fragment of the prime divine artifact into the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword would benefit Huang’er, its soul, tremendously. Moreover, if Duan Ling Tian managed to obtain nine fragments and integrate them with the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword, the sword would turn into a prime divine artifact. At that time, as long as Duan Ling Tian was willing, Huang’er would become independent like humans. She would possess a lower cultivation base than the master of the divine artifact, but she could slowly raise her cultivation base. For example, if her master was a supreme powerhouse, she would only possess the cultivation base of an intermediate Supreme G.o.d. To become an advanced Supreme G.o.d, she would have to rely on her own strength. Even after gaining independence, it would not affect the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword. After all, prime divine artifacts, unlike prominent divine artifacts, were not reliant on the powers of artifact souls. That was why prime divine artifacts were also known as divine weapons in their most basic form.
